The intersection between Church and State has always been a sticking point for Americans, especially for those in public office. Despite John F.

Even though the Founding Fathers made it clear they believed that a personal religion had everything to do with politics, somewhere in our country's history we've lost that understanding. Nonetheless, the fundamental principles of Christianity, and Catholicism, continue to influence literature, academia, social issues, and political parties.

In this course, you will be introduced to concrete tools for rediscovering the profound messages of religious art that are so often overlooked. We all have a vocation to beauty, and we need to rediscover Christian art n our contemporary visual culture.
